From a certain point of view, Marquette women’s soccer did what they needed to do to win on Thursday night at Valley Fields.
They outshot Seton Hall, more than doubling them up at 11-5. They held Natalie Tavana, one of the most prolific goal scorers in the country, without a goal and limited her to just two shots in the entire match. Keeper Mikki Easter made four saves, including three in the second half.
And yet.
Natalie Tavana found a charging Sophie Liston in the 33rd minute with a through ball, and Liston slotted it home past Easter for a 1-0 lead.
